The Fully Renovated Luxury Chalet Pinja

On the idyllic meadows of Velika planina, a new prestigious mountain retreat has opened its doors – the high-tech luxury chalet Pinja, combining the charm of the traditional Alpine environment with the uncompromising comfort of modern living.

Hidden on the edge of a quiet woodland and surrounded by breathtaking views of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps and the wide Gorenjska region, Chalet Pinja invites all who seek complete relaxation, tranquility, and an experience that surpasses an ordinary mountain getaway.

Comfort that indulges in every season

Pinja is designed for absolute comfort. Throughout the year, it is pleasantly heated or cooled to an ideal living temperature, while underfloor heating provides extra warmth in all rooms. For an especially cozy atmosphere, you can light the wood-burning stove, bringing softness and warmth to your evenings.

Smart technology and elegance

The cabin also impresses with its technological sophistication – equipped with high-speed internet. A tablet allows you to control the heating, lighting, smart TV, and enjoy the sound of the SONOS audio system.

Inside, you will find a modern, fully equipped kitchen and a spacious living area with a large wooden table – ideal for family gatherings or evening conversations over a glass of good wine. After an active day in nature, a warm shower and a heated towel radiator await you, ensuring your towels stay pleasantly warm.

Exclusive luxury – wine cellar and Finnish sauna

Chalet Pinja also offers something truly exceptional: a stone-carved wine cellar, where premium wines are stored at a natural annual temperature of 3–8°C and can be selected for your evening indulgence.

Adding the final touch is the Finnish sauna in a separate building, where you can fully relax and rejuvenate after a hike or a day of skiing.

A place for unforgettable moments

Chalet Pinja can comfortably accommodate up to 10 adults, making it an excellent choice for families, friends, or smaller groups wishing to create unforgettable memories in a beautiful mountain setting.

Chalet Pinja is not just accommodation – it is an experience that blends tradition, nature, luxury, and modern technology into perfect harmony.

Welcome to a new dimension of mountain luxury on Velika planina. Book your stay at Pinja.

A new luxury chalet opens in 2026 – the others will follow

Dear guests,
We are preparing an exciting new addition for the upcoming seasons. Our current offer of six chalets will be expanded with five additional chalets, which are currently undergoing renovation. These, too, will be designed with comfort, privacy, and a genuine connection to nature in mind, while offering modern design and top-quality amenities.

The first of these fully renovated, luxuriously equipped chalets will open its doors in May 2026.

New: Luxury Chalet & Sauna Kati

We are proud to present a new luxury chalet in our offer. Chalet Kati will open its doors in May 2024. It is the newest offering on Velika planina, renovated in April 2024. The extensive renovation transformed the Kati chalet into a luxury accommodation. While its exterior reflects carefully designed traditional architecture, its interior offers an extremely comfortable, ultra-modern experience. It has everything you could want for a relaxed and carefree vacation in the mountains. Welcome!

Two of the first guests that stayed at Kati chalet during the May Day holidays prepared a wonderful report.

Thanks to Oriana Sardella and Alvise Scarpa for sharing their experience:

💚Just two hours from Italy there is one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen!😍

⛰️After taking the longest pillarless cable car in Europe and then the chairlift which took us to almost 1700 metres.

🐮We went to visit an ancient shepherds’ village that we had wanted to see for a long time, it is said to have been inhabited since the Bronze Age.

🧀We then witnessed an ancient tradition of how local cheese is made, and shortly afterwards we went to eat some typical dishes in a refuge including ravioli with cottage cheese, amazing!😋

🏡In the end we headed towards the chalet Kati where we slept, a dream! The mix between ancient and modern won us over. While Its exterior reflects the typical architecture of local buildings, its interior offers an ultra modern experience with a spacious sauna in the living room!

🧖🏻‍♀️ We are at the Velika Planina, one of the wonders of Slovenia🇸🇮.

Luxury Chalet & Sauna Irena is the OMG accomodation!

Check out the contribution of our guest Ryan, who spent an interesting day in the Irenca hut. Ryan is a world-renowned influencer with millions of followers from all over the world. This time, he set himself the challenge of visiting the most interesting and quirky Rbnb properties around the world. He chose our Irenca hut as one of the three most interesting or, as he puts it, “quirky” places to stay. He visited in January this year. Through this interesting article, you can find out what really makes the Irenca hut so special.

Ryans’s statements “Craziest view of my life.” and “Slovenia is the most beautiful country.” perfectly sumarize the experience he shares with us.

Thanks Ryan!
